Varicose Veins Treatment in Basavanagudi, Bangalore
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged, and twisted veins situated beneath the leg skin. They form when the small valves inside the veins stop working properly, causing blood to flow backwards and pool in the vein. Over time, the increased pressure causes the vein walls to stretch, bulge, and become visible beneath the skin as dark blue or purple twisted cords.
Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern. Without treatment, they can cause chronic pain, swelling, skin changes, and in serious cases, blood clots or non-healing skin ulcers. Laser surgery for varicose
veins uses a laser to treat these wide, inflated and twisted veins, helping to decrease the swelling and eliminate the condition permanently.
Understand the Causes of Varicose Veins
Varicose veins occur when weakened or damaged vein valves cause blood to pool, leading to swelling and twisting of the veins. Here are the main causes:
When valves inside the veins fail, blood flows backward and pools, increasing pressure.
Staying in one position for long periods makes it harder for blood to move upward against gravity.
Veins lose elasticity and valves weaken over time.
Increased blood volume and hormonal changes can enlarge veins.
Genetics can make you more likely to develop vein problems.
Extra body weight puts more pressure on leg veins.
Procedure of Varicose Veins Laser Surgery
An ultrasound machine, vascular catheter, and laser fibre are used for varicose veins laser treatment at Himas Hospital. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to reduce discomfort, and the area where the catheter enters is completely numbed. A laser fibre is then extended to the affected vein.
The laser creates heat that shrinks and collapses the vein permanently. After about one year, the treated veins are no longer visible on ultrasound.
